Vancouver Micro-Lofts in Gastown were mentioned in a recent Vancouver Sun Article. 

Original buliding at 18 W Hastings Street is going to be converted to rental "micro-lofts" offering 270 sq.ft. bacholar units, which should fetch $750/mn for rent.  This is a great idea, as we are making use of old Vancouver buildings, and adding some affordable rentals to our city.  Most larger cities, such as Toronto have a much larger market of small studio style suites to offer more affordable rentals within the city core, cutting down travel times, and allowing entry-level Downtown workers to live and work in the same nieghbourhoods.  Developers Reliance Properties and ITC Construction Group are behind the project, which was approved by city council in 2008.
